Answer:

Explanation:

Solstice is gotten from the Latin word 'solstitium'. 'sol' means the sun and 'sistere' means 'to cause to stand or stand still'. From an astronomical point of view, this translation makes sense because this term is used to describe that particular instance when the sun attains its maximum northern point or maximum southern point from the equator of the earth.

When the sun attains northernmost point from the equator, summer solstice occurs and consequently causing the Earth to experience the longest day of the year. Similarly, when the sun attains its southernmost point from the equator, the Earth's proximity to the sun is at its closest and thereby making the Earth to experience the shortest day of the year. Astronomically, this is known as the winter solstice

A T-shirt cannon can shoot a 0.085 kg T-shirt at nearly 30 m/s. The T-shirt cannon has a mass of 33 kg. If the initial net momen
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Approximately 0.077\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} (assuming that external forces on the cannon are negligible.)

Explanation:

If an object of mass m is moving at a velocity of v, the momentum p of that object would be p = m\, v.

Momentum of the t-shirt:

\begin{aligned} p(\text{t-shirt}) &= m(\text{t-shirt}) \, v(\text{t-shirt}) \\ &= 0.085\; {\rm kg} \times 30\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}} \\ &= 2.55 \; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}} \end{aligned}.

If there is no external force (gravity, friction, etc.) on this cannon, the total momentum of this system should be conserved. In other words, if p(\text{cannon}) denote the momentum of this cannon:

p(\text{t-shirt}) + p(\text{cannon}) = 0.

p(\text{cannon}) = -p(\text{t-shirt}) = -2.55\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}.

Rewrite p = m\, v to obtain v = (p / m). Since the mass of this cannon is m(\text{cannon}) = 33\; {\rm kg}, the velocity of this cannon would be:

\begin{aligned} v(\text{cannon}) &= \frac{p(\text{cannon})}{m(\text{cannon})} \\ &= \frac{-2.55\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}}{33\; {\rm kg}} \\ &\approx 0.077\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}.

HELP! Can an object that is in motion have balanced forces? Explain your answer
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Newton's first law says that an object in motion stays in motion and an object at rest stays at rest until acted upon by an unbalanced force.

If an object in motion has balanced forces, it will stay in motion.  For example, if an object is falling at terminal velocity (for example, a parachuter), then the force of gravity is equal and opposite to the force of air resistance.  The forces are balanced, and the object continues to fall at a constant speed.

Unpolarized light with an average intensity of 845 W/m2 enters a polarizer with a vertical transmission axis. The transmitted li
RideAnS [48]

The concept to develop this problem is the Law of Malus. Which describes what happens with the light intensity once it passes through a polarized material.

Mathematically this can be expressed as

I = I_0 cos^2\theta

Where

I = New intensity after pass through the Polarizer

I_0= Original intensity

\theta = Indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light.

When the light passes perpendicularly through the first polarizer, the light intensity is reduced by half which will cause the intensity to be 225W / m ^ 2 at the output of the new polarizer, mathematically:

I= \frac{I_0}{2} cos^2\theta

225 = \frac{845}{2}cos^2\theta

Solving to find the angle we have

\theta = 43.11\°

The orientation angle of the second polarizer relative to the first one is 43.11°

A larger car takes more force to move._
FrozenT [24]
Newton’s 2nd law
———

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly related to the force on it, and inversely related to the mass of the object. You need more force to move or stop an object with a lot of mass (or inertia) than you need for an object with less mass. .

How does the law of universal gravitation apply to objects near Earth’s surface?
tekilochka [14]
In other words, the Earth attracts objects near its surface to itself. This universal force also acts between the Earth and the Sun, or any other star and its satellites. Each attracts the other. Sir Isaac Newton defined this attraction mathematically. Hope this helps! Mark brainly please!
